Union Presbyterian Seminary Library has been acquiring eBooks from a variety of academic publishers for several years. The eBooks reside on several vendor platforms. Since each eBook vendor is different, consult the Finding and Using eBooks LibGuide for more detailed information regarding viewing, printing, copying and downloading instructions.
eBooks and the eBook platforms are accessible on & off campus. Off-campus access requires login using your library barcode number and PIN and for some eBook platforms these credentials may be required on-campus as well. If it is your first time accessing an eBook from off campus, you may find these eBook access instructions useful.
If you are unable to access an eBook, it may be already in use. Many of our eBooks are limited to one user at a time though it may be necessary to increase this number as circumstances allow. If an eBook is already in use, please allow approximately one hour before trying to access it again.
If you have difficulty logging-in, please contact Ryan Douthat (804) 278-4217 or email rdouthat@upsem.edu.
